Speech Topics
Attack, Parry, Riposte: A Fencer’s Guide To Better Business Execution
In this live interactive session, Norman Katz will utilize both PowerPoint slides and audience participation as he selects volunteers for actual fencing instruction (using foam swords and protective eyewear – safety first, of course!) while explaining how the martial art of fencing strategies and tactics are applicable to various examples of business execution.
Topics covered include:
- data
- software
- operations
- competitive analysis
- perspective
- signals
- and strategic thinking.
**This presentation can be done virtually, but of course, no fencing instruction can be provided.
